Hi there,Today I will show how to create a Christmas wreath using the Creative shapes no. 21 and the Creative shapes no.17. To create the little flowers I've used just tiny circles, they are also on the shape no.17. I've shaped them with a moulding tool on a rubber mat. There is a great tutorial on the blog of Kitties craft, just take a look.The base for the wreath is an open circle. First all the layers of branches then some holly leaves and finally the little flowers. Just added some pearl accents in the center of the flowers and a ribbon to finish.The textstamp says: Warm Wintergreetings. I've used the Text tag no.3.from Crealies. I've used also the Non stop stamp no. 3 to give that spickled effect. The card and all elements have been worked with the Pan Pastels and the lovely stamp of the week: Harlequin Christmas' from Chocolate Baroque.Can you imagine the possibilities with all the Crealies branches and leaves for all kind of wreaths?TIP: use a strong and fast drying glue, like Tacky glue or Glossy accents.

Hello there,Today a creation with the lovely Hugging Fairy from designs by Ryn. Also handdrawn by Ryn......I've made a Winter scene for this fairy, that fits the temperature these days, so for now she is the Snowfairy! When I saw this stamp I knew that I would add something with snow of flower soft for her robe. The background is created with Distress Inks, glimmermist and a Crafters template 'Winter Wonderland'. I've stamped the fairy with grey ink on Papicolour paper and coloured her with my Derwent Coloursoft. Also added some glitters on the snow and wings for that magical sparkle....The corner die is a Memorybox one, they are so fine detailed and really cut perfect! Added some gemstones on it and voila!Ryn has also her own blog, just take a look.....I believe there is also some candy to win.....

YES, a gorgeous new stampsheet from Chocolate Baroque, a must-have for the Steampunk lover with an elegant 'twist'! The new 'STEAMPUNK BUTTERFLY' Also the stamp of the month on the website of Chocolate Baroque! You can take a look at the Design team blog for more info and a lovely creation with it by Glenda, owner of Chocolate Baroque.

Here are two creations I've made with them........

The background is made with the Artemio clear inks, great colours but they come in small round plastic containers and they are horrible to use, you can't work with them without getting dirty! I've worked with the Crafters template 'rustique paint' and used molding paste and Inka gold. You can see some white Stains in the background, like that 'misty, milky' effect of them. Stamped three circle ornament fragments with black and gave accents with white pencil. The text in the center is from the 'Poppy collage' sheet. The butterflies are embossed with WOW copper and copper sparkle and coloured with Tombo markers.

And the 2nd one with the lovely large butterfly........ background with the same inks as the first one.....only two different Crafters templates 'gears'and 'script', also a little add with the molding paste and Inka Gold. The butterfly is embossed with WOW platinum and coloured with Tombo markers. You can also see the steampunk border from the 'Steampunkery'sheet.
